Translations not fully working

[Arne]

Hi there,

I am having an issue with the translations. I am running a multilingual website and have noticed that not all my translations show up.

For example the attached image; in the search bar the words “Date”, “Search”, “Find” and “View as” are not being translated, while “near”, “location” and “map” are. These exact words do not translate in any of the other languages on the website (Arabic, French and Russian).

I have tried updating/replacing the PO/MO files in wp-content/languages/plugins and in the plugin folder itself. I tried my edited PO/MO files aswel as freshly downloaded files. Unfortunately without success.

Any idea what could be causing this? It used to work up until recently. Did something change with v4.3 that I am unaware of?

I run a multi site WP 4.6.1 and the latest Events Calendar Pro (4.3.0.1) + Filter bar (4.3). The Plugin is only installed on the main website, not on any subsites.

Thanks

Something worth mentioning that I forgot is that through the functions.php I changed “event” and “events” to “workshop” and “workshops”

I found this somewhere here in the support documents or forums.

/** Rename Event and Events to Workshop and Workshops **/
// Singular
add_filter( 'tribe_event_label_singular', 'event_display_name' );
function event_display_name() {
	return 'Workshop';
}
add_filter( 'tribe_event_label_singular_lowercase', 'event_display_name_lowercase' );
function event_display_name_lowercase() {
	return 'workshop';
}
// Plural
add_filter( 'tribe_event_label_plural', 'event_display_name_plural' );
function event_display_name_plural() {
	return 'Workshops';
}
add_filter( 'tribe_event_label_plural_lowercase', 'event_display_name_plural_lowercase' );
function event_display_name_plural_lowercase() {
	return 'workshops';
}

Good evening Arne and welcome to the Events Calendar Support forum!

Thank you for reaching out to us.

We are sorry to hear about the issues you have been encountered with complete translation.
I would love to help you with this topic.

I am noticing that you are using QtranslateX to handle multi-language.
Although that is a great plugin, we unfortunately do not support it as a multi-language solution.

You can vote for that feature here: https://tribe.uservoice.com/forums/195723-feature-ideas/suggestions/4015356-integration-with-qtranslate

That being said, we do support WPML as a solution for our Free and Pro the Events Calendar plugins.

But, the good news is that we are in the process of increasing our support for other multilingual solutions. Unfortunately the next contender would likely be Polylang as it is already 95% working with our plugins.

I wish I had a better answer for you, but for now it’s the best one I have.

Best regards,

Geoff B.

Hi Geoff

Thanks for your reply. I understand you don’t support qtranslate X, but it has worked flawlessly with version 4.2.X for a very long time. I do have ‘the-events-calendar’ as filter in q translate to enable compatibility.

I wanted to download an old version through my account but even when I select 4.2.6 or 4.2.7 I get the 4.3 zip, probably a small error.

As test case I reverted back to an old backup, which uses 4.2.3 and it works fully translated again! If you could make 4.2.6/7 available again I would love to try that one out and leave version 4.3 as is for now.

I suspect something has changed since the 4.3 release in the way languages (filters) are handled.

Thanks!

Hi Geoff

I was able to find the 4.2.7 version on the WordPress plugin page and I can confirm it works with full translations and Q translate X. I also tried 4.3, but then the translation break again. It might be something small to get it to work again, but I am happy it works again with 4.2.7 and I will see if and when 4.3 or 4.4(?) becomes compatible again.

One additional question, is it possible to disable the “update available” message for now? I get 3 plugin updates available (Events Calendar, Events Calendar Pro and Filter bar) and looks a bit sloppy for other users.

Thanks!

Hey Arne,

Thank you for your understanding and kudos for finding the files on your own.

To answer your question, there are a couple of ways to tackle this.

But the easiest is probably through a plugin such as: https://wordpress.org/plugins/stops-core-theme-and-plugin-updates/

Let me know if that helps.

Have a great day!

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
